ROCKBOOTH TRUSS: How To Attach Lights

Introduction:

The Rock Booth Truss offers flexibility in how you choose to illuminate your DJ setup. In this guide, we will walk you through two methods for attaching lights to your Rock Booth Truss, both of which provide a professional look for your event. Whether you prefer using C-clamps or mounting hardware, we'll show you how to securely attach your lights and raise your truss for the best display.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Mounting Lights Using C-Clamps

• Prepare the Light: 

  Use a light like the Rockwedge LED for this setup. Attach a C-clamp to the light.

• Choose a Mounting Spot: 

  Decide where you want to place the light on your truss. This can be anywhere along the length of the truss.

• Secure the Light: 

  Attach the C-clamp to the truss by screwing it into the chosen spot. Tighten the screw to ensure the light is secure.

2. Mounting Lights Using Pre-Drilled Holes

• Use Mounting Hardware: 

  The truss comes with pre-drilled holes that allow you to mount your lights directly. For this, you’ll need bolts and wing nuts, along with the necessary mounting hardware.

• Attach the Mounting Hardware:
  • Insert a bolt through one of the holes in the truss.
  • Attach the mounting hardware to the other end of the bolt.
  • Secure the hardware in place by screwing on the wing nut.

• Tighten the Bolt: 

  If necessary, use a screwdriver to hold the bolt in place while you tighten the wing nut.

• Attach Your Light: 

  After securing the mounting hardware, attach your light to the truss using the hardware. Repeat this process for each light you want to mount.

3. Raising the Truss

• Loosen the Knobs: 

  To raise the truss, loosen the knobs on the side poles of the truss.

• Lift the Truss: 

  Carefully lift the center pole to raise the truss. As you do this, the holes along the side poles will become visible.

• Secure the Height: 

  Use a safety pin to lock the truss at the desired height by running it through the holes in the side poles. Tighten the knobs to ensure everything stays secure.

4. Wall Washing the DJ Facade (White Scrim Setup)

• Setup the Lights: 

  If you’re using a white scrim, you can "wall wash" the DJ facade. Use a par light and position it inside the facade.

• Adjust the Light Placement:

  Place the light flush against the facade or position it a few inches away, pointing toward the facade.

5. Projecting Light (Black Scrim Setup)

• Setup the Lights for Black Scrim: 

  If you're using a black scrim, position the light further from the setup and point it directly at the facade. This method works especially well with projector lights.

Conclusion:

Lighting up your Rock Booth Truss is simple and customizable depending on your event needs. Whether you’re using C-clamps or mounting hardware, this guide ensures that your setup will be secure and professional-looking.
